Hi all, as you should all hopefully know by now we have made the decision to close the roleplay. I’ve pinned my message to you all in the OOC Discord and will not repost it here, that message is for our members and I thank you all for your understanding at this time.

We will no longer be updating the main and releasing new NPCs, Tasks, Events or Prompts. Neither will we be enforcing activity checks. As of this week the roleplay will move into a ‘Soft Closed’ status, by which I mean that whilst the roleplay itself is closed and will not be accepting new members we will continue to play out the story on the dash. You are not obligated to continue should you not wish to but of course I know many are excited and eager. 

I do ask that no one, members or not, use or reference the original work created here for the roleplay for themselves. That if you decide to take your characters elsewhere you remove any reference to this roleplay beforehand. We may be at a point in the future where we can reopen the doors and of course you’d all be invited back at that point too. Should you continue writing please try to at least follow some of the rules we previously established regarding etiquette and godmodding etc. just to keep things peaceful & fun.

We collected a lot of ask memes for the gossip blog that may be posted from time to time and whilst part of the continuing action of the dash you’re more than welcome to request an interaction with an NPC as before. We will not be releasing any new content but please feel free to go back and complete older tasks & prompts.

I love you all and want to thank each and every one of you for your time, dedication and creativity. It’s been an amazing 7 months <3

Hello loves! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. This is just a quick note to let you all know we have completely revamped the rule page with a new, clearer layout and some amended rule points to help with clarity & understanding. Can you all please go and read the rules again to ensure you are up to date with them going forward & like this post once you have done so and understand them 100%.

If you have any questions, queries or concerns please contact the main as soon as you do so we can help.

The following character blogs are at the minimum expected activity levels as outlined in the rules & guidelines for the roleplay. Please note that posting pictures, as stated in the rules, does not count towards activity. We ask that they either post or message the main within 24 hours to avoid having their roles reopened.

A note to others; If anyone needs a hiatus for any reason, or no reason at all as you’ll never have to explain yourself, we just ask that a message is sent to the main to formally tell us of this ahead of time and not left in the OOC. We ask that a date is clearly stated in this and that you aim to return on or before that date, though we will always hold off a couple of days before adding you back into the activity check.

[vigilante-rpg]

Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday so far. 

We want to make sure nothing is getting confused or overlooked and to address that moving forward, the proper avenues for admin contact will be through this Main Blog. This includes any major character plot drops or changes, and hiatus requests will only be reviewed if sent to this blog. 

 All of the admin team needs to be aware of the comings and goings of members, so we ask that you refrain from asking official roleplay questions in the admin team’s private messages and instead send them to the main where we can review any sort of request at the same time. 

That being said, until any queries are addressed by the admin team as a whole, there cannot be an official answer to any requests as it’s not fair for one admin to make a decision that needs to be made as a team. 

I’d like to remind everyone too that the admin-questions discord is still available if any members have questions with plotting, world-building, and technical difficulties. However, anything outside of these moving forward should be sent through the official channel, otherwise any requests will not be considered.

Further on the Discord piece, members will not be receiving private messages from the admin team anymore in regards to admin business. If there’s any official roleplay messages we feel need to be conveyed OOC, it will be directed to your character blog’s inbox. This is to cut out any confusion as to what we expect from ourselves and our members to keep the experience as cohesive and consistent as possible. 

As always we expect to have this post liked once members have seen and understood what’s going to be expected. If there are any questions please reach out to the admin team!

It’s time for our 4th event and sticking to our promise of rotating the platforms this will be a dash only event. The event itself will run both in game and OOC from 17th September - 21st September. Please tag all new open & closed starters for this event with #startervig.

We ask that you still adhere to the usual starter rules, and every other rule, whilst posting new open starters focused around the event. As always we will have a catch up period after the event close to tie up any loose ends but we do encourage you to try and keep threads short & sweet to make this easier. All previous events, completed threads and roleplay-wide plot drops will be canon as of the first day of the event. 

Please don’t hesitate to message the main if you have any questions for the admins and as always have fun!

EVENT 004: HARBOUR FESTIVAL

The Harbour Feastival has been a tradition in Newhaven that goes back to its founding. In more recent years the focus has shifted to also include the memorial for those lost during the Unity attack but the overall vibe of the festival has stayed very true to its original goal: to celebrate and bring together the people within the city. 

Stalls with vibrant colours now fill every inch of the harbour and overnight the fairground rides have been erected. The stalls hold a wide range of treasure and fun to explore, from food to trinkets, arts & crafts and various body painting. The festival itself is famous for its week long festivities and both day & evening events.

Though not all who attend will wish to partake in the festivities at hand. In the wake of the Mayors public address there are those who oppose the more extreme ideas he’s put forward and wish to use the opportunity of him appearing publicly to protest. Whilst he’s running unopposed and a shoe-in to win in the upcoming election there is still time to make their voices heard and put a stop to anything that could potentially harm those born with abilities.

Whether you choose to attend for fun or for political reasons, there’s no denying that the stalls are less crowded than usual this year. The lines for the ferris wheel and tilt-o-whirl have never been shorter. Could it be that interest is down, or is there something more sinister afoot?

TASK 007 – FANFICTION

Hello loves! I wanted your newest task to be something a little more lighthearted and fun, especially as we move towards more intense plot drops & events. This has been teased for a while but we would like for you to create a short piece of fanfiction focusing on the Vigilante characters in the roleplay. These should be written in the usual format, unless you have an alternative style idea that the admins have approved, and posted using the #talkvig tag.

The fanfiction should not include your own Vigilante in any way. It should be written taking into account any false information that may be public, incorrect assumptions or just ‘fanon’ facts that have become popular, as opposed to knowledge that the general public may not know about them. It can be of any genre, though as always please remember to tag anything that requires it, and we do ask that if you choose to go the romantic route that things fade to black rather than going too graphic. 

We encourage you to use any traditional fanfiction tropes you may be a fan of or to think outside the box if that’s more your speed. NPCs are allowed to be used during this task if you feel the need - though the focus must be on at least one Vigilante.

We will assume that every member is okay with their Vigilante being written about by others unless you let one of the admins know immediately - this will avoid any confusion or upset without restricting others. It goes without saying that we expect the fanfictions, whilst intended to be nothing but fun, to not be offensive or insulting towards the characters you’re writing about. If you are uncertain please speak to the admin team or run the idea past the mun.

As always we can’t wait to see what you come up with and we’re excited to see some lighthearted silliness on the dash <3

Following the letter from Mayor Winsor, all Vigilante activity is being cracked down on harder than ever before. The police have been instructed to act on any reports tied towards the masked heroes of Newhaven but until the law has been officially passed they cannot be arrested for anything that would stick. Yet. Where they may have once been gratefully thanked for saving a civilian they may now encounter someone who is thoroughly against everything they do, or simply prejudiced against those with special gifts. 

Tensions are clearly on the rise between those in the city who believe the Vigilantes are a source for good and those who see them, and those with powers, as a blight to Newhaven. With the recent published address from the Mayor's office, those against have been given a new platform and confidence to voice their opinion more openly. However with the upcoming annual festival there is an opportunity for those opposed to the proposal to stage protests that could gain the right kinds of attention. Those who wish to take to social platforms to raise awareness to the cause, and perhaps sway a few in the undecided camp in their direction, are encouraged to do so.

Any and all future threads involving one or more of the Vigilantes should be written with the potential added danger and implications this roleplay wide plot drop bring - you’re encouraged to find ways to implement this plot drop into your threads (both closed and open) going forward. 

[vigilante-rpg]

To the citizens of Newhaven,

Two years on, we take the time to look back at how much the world and our city has changed after the fallout from the Unity Invasion. Many see the day as reason to celebrate, with good cause too, but for others it is a time of loss and mourning. Despite Unity’s defeat the effects from that day are still felt throughout our great city and I have made it my personal mission as Mayor to try and build us up stronger than ever before. I truly believe it is the peoples victory, not Spectrums, that has shined brightest of all.

My gentrification project in The Basement has been a massive success. New, affordable, homes have been built in the area. Our focus on community areas such as The Gardens has been a particular highlight. Not only has it improved just one area of Newhaven but the effects have rippled through to other districts. Statistics show that in the last few months alone the homeless population has decreased by more than half. Police reports confirm there is almost no one at all left in The Valley, a once well known hotspot for antisocial behaviour, and our business districts seem to grow from strength to strength.

As Mayor of this city I take great pride in the fact we are one of the leaders in the technological industry, just as we have been leaders in previous industries. We are a city of hardworking, law abiding people - which is why I want to take the time in this letter to address my next focus for Newhaven. There are some, a minority, who would deem it fit to tackle problems in unorthodox ways. This kind of activity has only increased in the two years following Unity’s attack and is the only blight left in our wonderful home. These, self dubbed, ‘Vigilantes’ deem themselves outside of the law - undermining the hard work our police force and other emergency services provide on a daily basis.

They run amok in our streets, terrorising anyone they believe they have the right to. Newhaven is becoming trapped in a turf war between those who have these ‘abilities’. It has become nothing but a playground for those who see themselves as all powerful, and as Mayor it is my duty to step in and protect you - the normal, everyday citizen. They destroy public property, break into private buildings & estates and paint targets onto the backs of the very people they claim to ‘protect’. Surely, if they believed they were doing things for the good of the city they would do so without a mask? They hide their identities because they know their intentions are never completely good. 

That is why, as I am running unopposed this year, following my reelection I promise to bring forward a new law to put an end to Vigilantes and bring in regulation within Newhaven for anyone with ‘abilities’. That isn’t to say we will be disbanding the idea of using those with gifts to fight crime altogether, but I have been working closely with NHPD official to come up with a compromise involving registering and volunteering alongside the police. We wish to bring in official tests, to seek out those with abilities and prevent them from committing crimes before it is too late, and register all metahumans in a singular database for reference. This is being presented, as always, with the best interest of Newhaven at heart.

Until that point anyone seen in public wearing a face mask to conceal an identity, anyone infiltrating a crime scene or anyone using abilities or illegal weapons on another member of the public will be arrested on sight.

I hope such news will reassure everyone that this years festivities, held in our Harbour district, will go forward without a hitch. 

Mayor Donax Winsor.

[vigilante-rpg]

Hello loves, I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you all know that we’ve finished adding in an entire new district to Newhaven. Newhaven Harbor and it’s notable locations can be found on the updated Location page on the main. As always we’d love to hear any ideas or suggestions you have for new locations to existing districts but we do hope you enjoy the new addition we’ve brought in. This new district will be the feature of the new few events but that doesn’t mean you can’t start new threads there either. We will also be introducing new NPC’s and special tasks / prompts tied into this in the near future as we continue to work on expanding the world the roleplay is set in <3

Hey loves, just a quick note to let you all know should you see anything on the main that is broken (pictures or links etc.) or needs updating please don’t hesitate to let me know. This includes updating to say certain plot drops have been taken, if you’d like us to post any new plot drop requests or update/change OOC information such as ages.
